I don't want a puppy for Christmas. I want a baby mammoth.!
Scientists found a frozen carcass of a baby mammoth in May this year in the Yamal-Nenets autonomous district in Russia's north -- considered to be the best preserved specimen of its type. There is talk that geneticists may be able to harvest the DNA from this preserved carcass. This way, geneticists can manufacture an embryo, fertilize it and transplant it into a female elephant to try to birth a baby..."mammophant."
